We are thrilled to welcome Robert Rothschild as Chief Marketing Officer and Angela Newman as Senior Vice President of Legal. Robert will take a data-driven approach to pipeline growth, helping us reach our global revenue targets while expanding awareness of our international brand. Angela, previously retained as outside counsel in the US, now joins us full time to build out and oversee a world-class legal team. Both Robert and Angela will join Botify executive leadership.
Robert comes to us with a wealth of experience growing startups into well-established enterprise brands. Prior to Botify, Robert worked with Helsinki-based social advertising automation platform Smartly.io, the world’s largest Facebook marketing partner with +€3 billion in total ad spend managed on their platform. As their Chief Marketing Officer, Robert helped the team more than double their ARR over the course of three years. Before that, he led a similar initiative as Global Vice President of Marketing Operations & Strategy at Hybris, a market-leading cloud-based e-commerce solution acquired by SAP for $1.5 billion in 2013.
I’m seeing this recurring pattern over the last three companies [I’ve worked for]: really intelligent people who like to have fun, enjoy spending time with one another, and can rally around a solution that solves a real, urgent business problem. Those factors together, in my experience, lead to success, which is why I find Botify super exciting.

“The things that got me really excited about working at Hybris were the same things that ultimately led me to Smartly. And those things that led me to Smartly are the same things that I saw in Botify when I first started talking to the people here,” says Robert. “I’m seeing this recurring pattern over the last three companies: really intelligent people who like to have fun, enjoy spending time with one another, and can rally around a solution that solves a real, urgent business problem. Those factors together, in my experience, lead to success, which is why I find Botify super exciting.”
